It was a good cruise, not as good as previous HAL but still enjoyable.

Review summary

It was a good cruise, the ship and staff were all very good at their job. It was a very clean ship and the staff were always helpful. Unfortunately, night time was very lacking entertainment wise. No dancing, the shows were just okay, they showed movies on two nights which I don't think is acceptable.

We were lucky enough to receive an upgrade to a Signature Suite and it was really nice. The balcony was really big and enough seating for the 3 of at the same time.

Ship tip

It is a cold ship, especially in the Crows Nest area.

You have to remember this cruise line is used by mostly elderly people. Its not a party ship like carnival.

What do you mean unacceptable for the two movies? Where there not enough movies for you or are you saying movies are an unacceptable form if entertainment?
